No, this is not MY mother that's being talked about. Also, to people Digging this: STOP. Max is not a millionaire. If this becomes another HTPAT, it will probably get changed again and NO ONE will get to be touched by it.

Ultimately, one shouldn't feel too torn up after watching this because it reeks of fabrication. In the rare instance this isn't urban legend, I'm tired of the most personal parts of personal lives becoming viral internet sensations; this is the real tragedy. I'm flat out tired of viral internet sensations in general.

This will continue to get 5's and favorites along with comments like "OMG so sad best ytmnd ever it tuched my hart" But no one should feel guilty for downvoting. GB2 reading email forwards. More loling, less bawling.

It gets a 4 because its around the holidays and it matches well with the theme. It makes you think. If in the past your parents have done something bad, not horrible, just bad and you see them thanksgiving you should say hi because when they are dead your missed your chance. And it doesn't have to be from a dehabilitating disease, any sort of random accident could strike and kill them, just as well you.

Dude, if your Mom really died, why the hell would you try to tell her story as a YTMND??? Only a crackhead loser would come to ytmnd and look for sympathy for the story about the worlds smallest violin.
The only thing anyone with sound mind could do is laugh at your laugh at your poor attempt for sympathy and regard this whole charade as a decent and respectable attempt for 5 stars on YTMND. I'll give you 4

What have you done?! As much as I like it (the music's well chosen btw), you've unleashed a monster possibly even greater than that humorist prank call crap that was #1 top viewed for months. Hell, this is even in top sponsored after a few hours.

Multiple Sclerosis sucks. I am lucky that it has so far only f*cked up my sight for a few months back in 05, and I know it can get much worse. I don't like the fact that this is not done about you. This is a touching story, and I believe it is falsely appealing to people's emotions. It should have an end title card giving credit where credit is due. And if it is fiction, then you need to kill your children then be sterilized.

I will admit, though: Fiction or not, this was well made and the music was a great, if often used, choice. YTMND has evolved beyond picture, sound, and text to be a medium of story telling, and is not required to be funny. Those who don't understand that are trapped in the past and will be eliminated from relevance soon enough.

lawl wow this actually made me cry too, and I never do and probably havent for like 5 years. my dad had cancer from his mom's second hand smoke and finally won and is ression for about 8 years now. never know when your time is up, you should tell everyone you love them as much as you can.
don't give me that "omg you're a pussy" bullsh*t, you know its true.
Sorry to hear about your mom.

actually, because they were watching him so closely after his colon cancer, they found this one in time to get it, they think (this was another primary tumor, not secondary to the colon). 6 weeks of chemo and radiation, and they think his prognosis is ... well, better than most pancreatic tumors. It hadn't gotten to lymph nodes yet. Thanks for the sympathies though

Someone who has played the GameCube version needs to check this for me. I played the DS version and in that game you get letters from your in-game mom on a weekly basis, sometimes with gifts. If you hadn't played for a while, yeah, you'd build up some letters from "Mom". I think there's a chance that's what this story is talking about.

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute so just sit right there and I'll tell you all about how I came to this town call Bellaire.
In west Philadelphia born and raised on the playground is where I spent most of my days chilling out, maxing, relaxing out acting all cool shooting some b-ball out side of the school when a couple of guys that were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got sca...

what max did was retarded. if he has to pay the bills, who gives a f*ck. either get some more advertising or shut the site down. It's not your right to kill someone's work just because you know it's going to receive a lot of hits. That's no one's right.

The problem is, it's not my work. If it was a completely original creation being sent to digg and getting 100,000 views, max would've left it alone. I can see his point, though I really, REALLY wish it didn't have to come to that. It's his site, he can do what he wants. >_<

Actually he did innovate, this was in a comic strip form, he cut it into panels, made it a gif, and added music. This was not what the original work was. He innovated it. So he indirectly changed the media type from panel comic to gif slideshow.

Wasn't the *original* YTMND a quote (a good one though) from a movie. From a script that writers obviously worked hundreds of hours on (cry*, sob*). I guess we'll all have to get angry at any site that uses something anyone else made (movies, video games, etc.) Jesus... No wonder the writers are on strike.

he ______'d my _______ _______ until 5 am is also a straight clip of foxporn.com, the background music was not inserted, it's the same. Some users did apply consistent voting of it since it was a straight rip, yet others have shown ambivalence about it. Still you make a good point. When did so many ytmnd'ers abandon reason for madness.

The original YTMND brought an otherwise obscure quote to life by combining the audio of it with a visual aid in the form of loud text and an image of the actor who said it. Its focus was on what those materials combined to create: the soul of a quote. It wasn't intended merely to focus on any of the individual things that composed it, as this does heavily on its borrowed, rehashed image.

This YTMND brought an otherwise obscure webcomic about Animal Crossing to life by making a slideshow out of that comic and combining it with a song that enhances its emotional impact. Without the song, the image is not nearly as powerful.

The image isn't supposed to be emotional, it's farce. Poor song choice. You reformatted the comic; you didn't create anything. The song is sh*tty and it wasn't exactly a creative or original choice, and stealing some other work and putting a song behind it is not a creative exercise. Take away the image, and what is this site? Absolutely nothing. If the song enhances the image (which it doesn't since you didn't even understand the comic to begin with) then it still is just frosting on a cake you didn't bake

Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap. Pacard this crap. Polend this crap.

Getting presents probably wouldn't even take that long, she probably just did it on the side, like when fishing was getting boring, or just gave him all the furniture she didn't want, so like, that's not so epic sad as it seems
Also why didn't he get her some other fun games for old ladies, come on
